Hello, 

I'm new to the forum so sorry in advance if this question has been asked too many times.
My 1984 mk2 breadvan has quite severe engine hesitation under acceleration. There is a 'dead zone' when you push the throttle halfway, then if you start flooring it the engine picks up revs again. I already saw there is a list of things in an engine that can cause this, but before trying everything i thought about narrowing down the options. Do any of you know whether there is a very likely cause for a mk2 breadvan to have such hesitation? BTW: the spark plugs and leads are  already checked and OK.

id check the ign timing , carb base for air leaks then if its still doing it remove the carb and clean it and have it set up by someone that knows what theyre doing

 

is the fuel filter new...theyre very cheap 

Thank you for the help! I'll start with the fuel filter

Indeed the fuel filter was the simple fix! The throttle response is nice and smooth again 👍

good fix...keep an eye on it incase the tank is dirty inside

Could it be the carb needs cleaning out and a circuit is not working because of a blockage?
